Nllsson and oueen vlctoria.

Before the prima donna left Osborne
the queen begged her to choose any gift
she most fancied--a diamond ring, d
brooch, or what not. But Nilsson mod
estly begged for photograph Of her maj
esty with her autograph written below, d
wish which met with immediate fulfill
ment, and, am sorry to add, one which
must have been after the donors own =
heart, as the queen IL not celebrated for q
glad munificence. Among other treasures
the prima donna highly values are an an
tiQne set Of pearls, diamonds and emeralds
from Napoleon III, representing Faust and
Marguerite, which can be taken apart and
forms different pieces Of jewelry, d set Of
diamonds and emeralds from the emperor
OF Russia, end another from the empress,
end decoration from the king of Sweden
with hts medal in diamonds. Besides these
priceless melnentos, Nine Nilsson can

Drinking water from Country Hotels

Here's new wrinkle, = said the pro-
prietor Of country hotel who was in the
city the other day. II received few
Gays ago letter from a New York, GEM
tleman inquiring my rates for board and
asking tae to send him sample of our
drinking water. This is an odd idea, and
It Is likely to be generally practiced in my
opinion. The hotel men are won't to call
latter seriously it must be admitted
tat the question of water should be
thoroughly considered. A change Of wa

true 1t behooves men to investigate and
i.scertain If possible whether that change

The Centennial Celebration.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 49,
Nearly thirty thousand uniformed soldiers
passed in review before the chief magis-
trate and high officers of this and other
governments to-day, General Phil Sheri-
dan rode at their head. During the day
there were at least half million stran-
gers in the city. On the reviewing stand
there was crowd Of distinguished visi-
tors, among whom were Governors Bigger,
OF Delaware, Green, of New Jersey Saw
yer, of New Hampshire; Larabee, of
Iowa; Gordon, of Georgia; Buckner, of
Kentucky; Mayer, of Nebraska; Scales,
of North Carolina; Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia Lloyd, of Maryland; Hill, of New
York Lonsberry, of Connecticut Beaver
of Pennsylvania and Senator ingalls,, of
Kansas The city troops of cavalry es-
stand. He was accompanied by chairman
Thomas M. Thompson, of the reception
committee, and Mayor Fuller. Behind
came carriages with Secretary Bayard,
Geo. w. Childs, Secretary Fairchild,
Amos R. Little, ex-President Hayes and
many other distinguished guests. There
was a continuous round of cheers as the
president rode by. An incident, which
caused no end of comment, was the re-
tirement of Mrs. Cleveland from her bal
cony in front Of the hotel Lafayette, just
before the Grand Army division reached
that point,and not re-appearing again un-
til they had passed Private Secretary
Lamont, his wife, Mr.. Drexel and others
who were with her, also left their places
about the same time and they too remain
ed away. 1t is regarded as unfortunate
that this should have occurred, and many
Of the occupants of the stand, who were
in full view of Mrs. Cleveland and her
party express deep regret at her move
ments.

A Little Diversion in New Mexico.

ALBURoURQUE, N. NJ, September 16
A passenger train on the Atlantic & Pa
cifc railroad coming east was stopped at
Navajo station, Arizona, by five masked
men, who fired several shots at the engi-
neer. fireman and brakemen. They board
ed the express car and robbed the safe,
which contained only small amount OF
money but did not interfere with passen-
gers. They then mounted their horses
and rode off in a southerly direction. No
person was hurt. The Atlantic 4 Pacific

The Cree Murderer.

HELENA, September 18.-Sheriff Hatha
way arrived yesterday morning with the
half-breed Cree, George Godas, who is ac-
cused Of the murder of Embody, on the
Dearborn. The prisoner denied his guilt,
and is sullen and morose, as might be ex-
pected under the circumstances. In de
nying his guilt Godas coolly announced
that he had never killed man on this
side of the line. Five dollars was all the
money found about his person. There
was, however, revolver taken from him
which was identified as having been stolen
from ranchman living near Embody's.
The men who tracked the prisoner are
certain they can find evidence sufficient to
convict him.

Who Wrote Tt?

| a correspondent Of the ST. Paul Globe
writes an interesting letter of a column OF
more, dated Fort Benton, September 9th
which appeared in that journal Of the
llth inst. The writer is evidently stran-
ger in Montana, but he knew what he was
talking about when he penned the follow
ing relative to river business:
AT this time the streets of Benton are
fairly alive with people-many of whom
are newcomers who have come to spy
out the land and seek business openings:
others are spectators, bent upon making
a pile, and others still are here to squat
and stay put believing that the pros

to think that the Manitoba will make
things so lively that steamboating will
not be able to survive. True, the compile

cause the Missouri was better stream.

Prickly Pear, Montana. The body was
discovered by boy out fishing. A jury
was summoned, but on account of the
lateness of the hour adjourned until this
morning. The supposition is, that he was
followed down the river, killed and then
robbed. To-day the result of the inquest
at Wardner was sent as a special to the
Reyiew as follows "There was a post
n1ortem examination on the body of the
man Biddle Reeves, who was found
drowned yesterday in the river below
Wardner Junction. No marks or indica-
tions of violence we're discernable and it
is thought that he came to his death by
accidental drowning. The $1,000 suppo-
sed to have been on his person at the time
was found in different places and ac-
counted for. The verdict at the inquest
was, that he came to his death by drown
ing, the cause unknown to the jury.

hardships, the dangers which steamboat
men endured in the early days to try and
prove the value of this mighty stream as
nucleus to the building up of a new and
rich country cannot, because of the adj
vent of railroad at this late day, be set
aside as having been in vain. The need
which existed in 1860, the date of the first
steamboat arrival at Benton, exists to-day,
and the 2 line will continue to be, and
will prove a leveler of rates. It would be
a disgrace to the country to let such
stream as the Missouri lay an idle waste
of flowing water, as if fit only to carry off
the surplus drainage Of the snow-clad
Rockies. For what she has done, and can
do, she deserves a better fate"
